No payment

My benefits were due to be paid in today, but I have just checked my bank but no money has gone in, does anybody know if there is an error today or if other people haven't been paid?

Thanks

    I know it's early, I just get worried easily.

    It normally goes in at about 2 o'clock in the morning.

    Does anybody have a number to contact ESA in case the money doesn't go in?

    Cheers

    I think, what they are saying, is that someone on benefits is able to pay £60 a month for SKY HD and trip to Belgium to buy cigarettes is not right, when there are working families who cannot afford such luxuries.

    What has having a disability got to do with anything?

    Why do people always have to jump in as defenders of the disabled.........

    I don't think the poster 'Credit-Crunched' mentioned disability - just benefits in general.

    with all due respect, sky well if you can afford it fair enough.

    but a trip to Belgium??? many hours travelling, stopping and starting hmmm i find this a little strange that you are able to do this regularly?

    not only that surely you would be buying alot of fags and tobacco? to sell other wise it would not be worth you going! I am 100% positive it is illegal.
    1,it illegal and you can go to jail
    2, how can you last the long trip being so ill (esa is for illness not disability)
    3, your making money so you shouldn't be entitled to ESA!
